Raspberry Pi slow even overclocked.

[SanityGaming]

Overclocking a raspberry pi.
I've seen videos on YouTube of people playing doom and many other games and doing many other things on their pii and theirs are fast but mine is so slow even with it over clocked.

Is their something I'm doing wrong?
Does the overclocking need some sort of command to fixate it or?

A raspberry pi will maybe play doom 1 from 1993 or minecraft , its not designed to play games at all. More to setup as Tv media player ,robotics controller, arcade machine,Home automation ,web browser,linux machine
overclocking would be a waste of time in my opinion
People normally buy a pi to program to there needs or to make projects

I understand it's not for gaming but it takes like 5-20secs to even open up the internet.

The pii is a great thing and cute having a tiny pc in my hand ha can buy led screens for it and more! It's a great project.
Even good for keeping images and videos on. Or if you want to save passwords and other stuff to you can do many things with a pii it's amazing!
I was am trying to make it into a small arcade machine with games like doom, tetris, pacman and such maybe even game boy pokemon and so on.

Also thanks for the link! it's really interesting

What generation is it? I have a Pi 3 running retropie. It can't handle the "newer" retro games like N64 games very well, even with overclocking.

Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1 2

I don't know much about the raspberry pi's but i have to start somewhere, i only recently figured out how to update it and stuff! in the command console.

CPU is an ARM 700Mhz to 1.2 Ghz of course its slow to open a internet page
Its Speed is A matter of Relativity
compared to a 80286 its lighting fast
and compared to a Kaby lake its like a snail on mogodon

HA, laughed! your comment deserves a thanks! ha

It's just when i overclocked it i noticed no difference what so ever...
I did so a little more research on google and some said it could be the sd card?? Apparently a faster SD card helps!, but i don't want to go down that route unless this can be clarified on how exactly and what improvements it will give!
I'm just using a standard 8GB sandisk SD card

But it's not just the internet, even command console to open and anything on it is slow as hell, i i can barely do anything it's so slow!
Yet i've seen youtube videos of peoples doing stuff faster than mine can! even playing doom at what looks playable fast, how can they even do that when it's so slow? again - maybe it's SD card related?

Definitely a problem then, even if you have an older Pi. They can run what you describe. Specifically, Q3 came out when we were on the Pentium 3 and GeForce 2, hell, 3dfx was still around. There's also a github Q3 project that optimizing it for the Pi.

Won't directly translate as I used a Pi 2 last year, but my experience was good. Built it for someone else, who still has and uses it.

Can't with 100% certainly say the SD card is the problem, but there's not a lot of items to switch out, so your SD card is very slow or there's a bad configuration somewhere. Which OS did you go with?

I think it was raspberry standard? or Noob? what you call it? It's most likely the SD card, the SD card is probably extremely slow, as states it's a standard SD card!

1st gen Raspi is slow compared to the Raspi 3. I tried the first and is using the raspi 3 B, and boy they are so different with just two generations change. From single core to quad core, from 256MB ram to 1GB. And fast SDcard does make a difference. Class 10 is a must. If you are going to use it to build a cheap retro gaming machine, Raspberry pi 3 is your best bet from raspberry family.

What's the fastest best raspberry out right now? can you tell me the number and model please,
Also I will have to get a better SD card then, thanks for letting me know. It's most likely the SD card for sure then!

BC it has to run a full emulation layer is why it's slow... any virtulization platform does this... Even running a GC emulator will slow some of my systems to a crawl.

Also most Pis run Broadcom dual cores or quads and they are ok for android type games but a full os like Linux and gaming will leave a lot to be desired...

Your title says overcooked btw.

Best Raspberry Pi out right now: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/

If you can find one, Asus makes something similar but more powerful: https://www.asus.com/uk/Single-board-Computer/Tinker-Board/

I can't find it for sale anywhere unfortunately.

 

[Toothless]

You're trying to make a biplane carry the load of a C-130, slow is going to be slow.

 

[Anggoro]

Erocker is right. Asus version of SBC is a bit pricier tho. Also, Adrian @ PyImageSearch is one of the best source for Pi and computer Vision learning, if you are interested.
